| Reverse description | A large, bold numeral 5 dominates the central field, with the denomination legend PESOS inscribed in capital letters along the lower periphery. Behind and overlapping the numeral, a detailed depiction of a giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) is rendered in left-facing profile, its distinctive elongated snout, coarse-textured body, and bushy tail rendered with fine engraved detail, symbolizing the native fauna of South America. The field is otherwise plain, lending prominence to both the denomination and the wildlife motif. |
